24 Ways to Grow Your Readership with YouTube

Have you ever considered creating a YouTube channel to promote your books? On one hand, video outperforms both images and text-only content by a factor of ten. People share it more, interact with it longer, and make more buying decisions per impression than either of those other factors. On the other hand, it does require some skills not all authors already have. This can be intimidating. 

But here’s the thing.
